## Highlights
This is a patch release to address issues with Linux single binary releases. It also adds support for Stable diffusion 3!
### Stable diffusion 3
You can use Stable diffusion 3 by installing the model in the gallery (`stable-diffusion-3-medium`) or by placing this YAML file in the model folder:
```yaml
backend: diffusers
diffusers:
cuda: true
enable_parameters: negative_prompt,num_inference_steps
pipeline_type: StableDiffusion3Pipeline
f16: false
name: sd3
parameters:
model: v2ray/stable-diffusion-3-medium-diffusers
step: 25
```
You can try then generating an image:
```
http://localhost:9091/v1/images/generations -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"prompt": "A cute baby sea otter", "model": "sd3"
}
```
